The Making of Milledgeville

About the Book

“The Making of Milledgeville” is a book of history that chronicles the rapidly changing social climate that I and others in my community experienced growing up.This book also contains information that I shared and gathered from influential African–Americans in the community, past and present. The photographs used of locals and the people of Baldwin County represents a now and then comparison. These photographs illustrate aspects of opportunity and change resulting from a reluctant but welcome transition in America. The photographs convey the hopes and dreams of our people; as they embarked on a new era where dignity for all men and women would be recognized equally, no matter their differences. I sincerely hope that after you have read this book and add it to your collection, you will feel that my goals of educating the young as well as reliving cherished memories shared by the great citizens in our community were accomplished.
